I was lucky enough to hear this author speak at a Writers Festival. She was very engaging and I found the topic interesting. She looks at both the novel and movie of ‘Gone With The Wind‘ and how the mythology surrounding the Civil War, slavery and the south in general, is used and also mirrors the lies and deceit of Trumpism and most recently the January 6 insurrection. Very interesting reading.

Fighting a cold allowed me to do nothing today but read, and I devoured this in one day. Varina Davis, like most of us, was more complex than either side of the conflict wants to believe. Frazier‘s writing is exquisite, and I learned things I had not known - like the capital of the CSA was briefly in my hometown. Photo is from her New York days. So much of her life was controlled by others, I hope she was happy in those last years. #bookspin

I yield to no one as a champion of the Southern soldier wherever he may have fought and in whatever army, and I do not think I shall be charged more now than in war-time with "underestimating the enemy." Honor to all!

I read this almost twenty years ago when I was on a Civil War kick. Very interesting story. He was shunned because he did not say Lee was an idol, but made mistakes.

I‘m only a chapter in, but General Seidule is thoughtful, scholarly, eloquent, and unflinchingly, searingly honest. There are A LOT of people who could benefit from reading this... #roberteleeandme #tyseidule #westpointprofessor #unitedstatesarmy #militaryhistory #militaryscholar #brigadiergeneralseidule #themythofthelostcause #civilwar #confederacy #whitesupremacy
